CEO Today - November 2022

THE DISRUPTORS ZebEvans–ClickUp Next on our list is Zeb Evans, CEO of ClickUp. ClickUp is a project management platform that helps teams increase their productivity by allowing them to organise and collaborate on projects in one central place. Founded in 2017, the company has seen impressive growth in recent years with Evans at the helm. It’s safe to say that ClickUp’s branding has been instrumental to its success, with its “One app to replace them all” tagline perfectly sums up the company’s unique selling proposition. The core message is that ClickUp can do everything that other project management tools on the market can do, but better. ClickUp’s clean, sleek, and modern aesthetic is also a key differentiator, as it helps the platform stand out in what is a very crowded marketplace, one that is often associated with being complex and cluttered. The company’s branding strategy has been so successful that it has managed to attract some big-name customers, including the likes of IBM, Samsung, and Booking.com. It’s safe to say that ClickUp is well on its way to becoming a household name. Amit Bendov – Gong Last but not least, we have Amit Bendov, CEO of Gong. Gong is a hugely successful tech company that has developed a groundbreaking revenue intelligence platform that helps sales teams close more deals by providing them with insights gleaned from customer interactions. After being named one of the top start-ups in the world by LinkedIn for the second year running, it’s clear that Gong is a company on the rise – and much of this can be attributed to Amit’s vision for the brand. Under Amit’s leadership, Gong has adopted a bold and disruptive approach, taking the sales enablement industry by storm. In just a few short years, the company has quickly grown to rival many of the long-established players in the space by helping its customers win more deals and increase revenues. With an excellent product, a strong branding strategy, and a passionate and visionary CEO at the helm, it’s no wonder Gong is going from strength to strength, and it would be no surprise to see the company dominate its industry in the years to come. Final thoughts There you have it, four tech CEOs who are successfully building iconic brands. What sets them apart is their commitment to customer centricity, their focus on innovation, and their vision for the future. In a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive marketplace, these are the qualities that any company, in any industry, needs to succeed.
